Chapter 2 The house leaks and it rains all night

Shen carried the bloody Qin Zhi on her back and walked out of the Qin family's gate. Qin Zhen behind her suddenly turned her head and glanced at Mei, "Aunt, be careful of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night," and then she caught up with Shen and left. Mei shuddered at Qin Zhen's words. The look in this little girl's eyes was really scary.

Qin's house was in the middle of Shitou Village. When Shen came out of Qin's house, many people in the village had just returned from the fields. Everyone ran over to ask Shen what happened to Qin Zhi. Not long ago, they saw the two girls coming back from the foot of the mountain to pick pig grass. They were fine at that time. Shen was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.

Qin Zhen cried and said, "My aunt beat my sister to death. My father watched helplessly as my sister was beaten to death. My grandfather wouldn't let us say anything and insisted that my sister fell to death."

How ridiculous! Didn't anyone realize that Mei was actually a vicious woman? Her previous well-educated and well-mannered appearance was all an act. Everyone followed suit and started to curse Mei indignantly.

"Qin Zhen, what nonsense are you talking about, you little bitch?" As soon as Mei went out, she saw the villagers surrounding Shen's mother and daughter. It was bad. She couldn't let this bitch ruin her image in the villagers' hearts. In the future, when her daughter Qin Lian married a wealthy family, she would be the mother-in-law of a wealthy family. Mei's mean eyes turned around, and then she immediately changed to an expression of misfortune and said, "Don't be fooled by this dead girl. Qin Zhi, this dead girl, was unfilial and disobeyed her grandmother. I just pulled her to persuade her, but who knew that she ran excitedly and fell on a stone and died. My sister-in-law is also unfilial. She let this little beast disobey her grandmother. Look, my honest brother couldn't stand it anymore, so he divorced Shen and broke off relations with Qin Zhen, the dead girl. In my opinion, it's a good break. What's the point of having such an unfilial person? Otherwise, so many good young people in our Stone Village will learn this unfilial behavior."

This statement was actually agreed by many villagers nearby, especially many elderly people present, who turned to their children and grandchildren and said, "See, this is the end of being unfilial."

Qin Zhen was so angry that she cried when she heard what Mei said. But she didn't know how to refute Mei. Shen was also a bullied person in the Qin family before, and she was too dumb to refute. They had no choice but to carry the dead Qin Zhi to the foot of the mountain. There was a small thatched house there, which was built by a hunter many years ago. Later, the hunter went into the mountain and never came out again. It was said that he encountered a wild beast and was eaten on the spot. The house has been empty since then.

After tidying up the house briefly, Qin Zhen placed Qin Zhi on the door panel, found a broken basin, fetched some water, and washed the blood off Qin Zhi's body. No matter what, she had to let her sister go cleanly.

Shen found a torn mat in the hut, cleaned it and came to Qin Zhi's side.

Shen stroked Qin Zhi's face, tears streaming down her face. "Xiao Zhi, it was because I didn't protect you well that you died at such a young age. I was useless and couldn't even afford a coffin."

Qin Zhen heard Shen's cry and ran over, hugged Shen and comforted her, "Mom, don't cry, Xiaozhi's death will not be in vain, and your aunt will definitely be punished."

The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried together.

That night, there was a sudden thunder and lightning outside, and it started to rain heavily. The thatched house had been in disrepair for a long time, and it started to leak at first, and then it leaked more and more.

Shen and Qin Zhen held basins and caught the rain nearby to prevent it from getting Qin Zhi wet.

"Mom, the rain is getting heavier. We have to move Xiaozhi to another place quickly. We can't let him get wet in the rain."

"Okay, Xiaozhen, let's help Xiaozhi to the hall. It's not leaking that much there."

Qin Zhen squatted down, took Qin Zhi's hand, and prepared to carry him on her back. Suddenly, a big hole appeared on the roof due to the rain, and the rain poured in rapidly, soaking Qin Zhen like a drowned chicken. Qin Zhi, who was lying on the wooden board, was also soaked by the rain.

A bolt of lightning came, accompanied by a deafening thunder. The lightning struck Qin Zhi, and flames burst out in all directions.

Qin Zhen was also pushed away from Qin Zhi by a huge force. Shen quickly pulled Qin Zhen up, and fortunately Qin Zhen was not injured.

The fire around Qin Zhi lasted for about half a minute and then disappeared. Shen and Qin Zhen hurried to Qin Zhi's side, but they were stunned by the scene before them.

Qin Zhi was seen sitting upright on the wooden board, his face pale, staring at Shen and Qin Zhen with his eyes open expressionlessly.

"Xiaozhi, you're not dead," Qin Zhen reacted and rushed over to hug Qin Zhi. "Mom, look, Xiaozhi is still alive. That's great."

When Shen saw her little daughter resurrected, she hugged her and cried excitedly.

Qin Zhi looked at the two people crying in front of him, not understanding what had happened. He had just been carrying out a special mission in the jungle, but he did not expect to be ambushed by the enemy. While trying to save his comrades, he was blown away by a grenade.

Why are the two people in front of me dressed differently? Damn it, I must have traveled through time. Suddenly, scenes that did not belong to me flashed through my mind.

It turns out that the original owner of the body that my soul has traveled through has the same name as me, is eleven years old this year, and is a twin sister of Qin Zhen next to me. The original owner was beaten to death by Mei, and my soul traveled through the original owner's body. The poor original owner died in such an unclear way. Don't worry, since I have traveled through your body, I will be responsible for your family and will protect your mother and sister.

"Mom, I'm hungry," were the first words Qin Zhi said when he woke up, which made Shen very excited. Being hungry was good, and she knew that being hungry meant that she was really alive.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go make porridge for you." During the day, Aunt Zhang from the village secretly sent a small bag of broken rice. The farmers' lives were not well off, so it was not easy for them to come up with such a small bag of broken rice.

Shen cooked the porridge skillfully and fed her daughter mouthful by mouthful.

After eating a bowl of porridge, Qin Zhi felt better in his stomach and relaxed. Shen helped Qin Zhi lie down and went to the kitchen to clean up.

Qin Zhi looked around. This shabby house was indeed too shabby. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a bare house. Although he was from the 21st century in his previous life, his living environment was much better than it is now. But before he died, he was a special forces soldier. He had experienced all kinds of outdoor environments, so he adapted quickly.

Qin Zhi closed his eyes and recalled the information about this dynasty in his mind. The dynasty the original owner lived in was the Great Xiao Dynasty, a dynasty that did not exist in history. It seemed that he had traveled to an imaginary dynasty.

The original owner's village, Shitou Village, is backed by Daliang Mountain, which is endless and unreachable. Most hunters only dare to hunt in the outer areas and hardly dare to go deep into the mountains. A few years ago, it was rumored that there was a big white tiger in the mountain. A hunter ventured in and never came out again. Almost every household in the village relies on a few acres of thin land to make a living. When encountering extreme weather disasters, they tighten their belts and live a miserable life.

However, there is one family in the village that is an exception, that is the Qin family, or more precisely, the family of Qin Zhi's great uncle - the first branch of the Qin family. The eldest son of the Qin family, Qin Dahai, worked as a handyman in the town's restaurant in his early years. Because he was flexible in handling things and could flatter people, he was gradually promoted to a small manager of Zuixianlou. He was paid two taels of silver per month. This income was the first in Shitou Village. The villagers worked hard in the fields all year round and might not even get two taels of silver.

Over the years, the Qin family has not split up. Qin Dahai works in the town and is said to give part of his wages to Liu. The other part is left for socializing in the town, and Liu also agreed. This eldest son has a promising future, and he will be looked down upon if he does not have money outside. The money Liu has on hand is basically prepared for her youngest son. The youngest son Qin Wen is Liu's favorite. He has been studying in the academy in the town since he was a child. His grades are so-so. He has taken several provincial examinations in the past few years, but he has never passed. But Liu has always believed that Qin Wen can pass the examination, so she asked the whole family to tighten their belts to support Qin Wen's studies. Qin Erzhu from the second room is an honest man and never says a word. He follows Qin Laohan to the fields before dawn every day and comes back the latest. Before Shen and divorced, Shen cleaned up the Qin family inside and outside, cooked and washed clothes, and followed to the fields when she was free. Qin Zhen and Qin Zhi either picked grass for pigs or chopped firewood and dug wild vegetables. Even so, Liu still disliked the second room's family for eating for free. Fortunately, after this incident, Shen and Qin Erzhu divorced, and her family escaped from the Qin family's suffering. As for her adopted father, although he was really concerned about her and her sisters and was also good to Shen, when her sisters were bullied by Liu or the first wife, Qin Erzhu chose to endure for the sake of family harmony and did not stand up in time to protect his wife and children. Qin Zhi had long been disappointed with this bastard father.

Qin Zhi fell asleep slowly while thinking. His body was still very weak and he had to take care of himself quickly. By then, with the help of his soul coming from thousands of years later, he would be able to make a great success.

Qin Zhi came to a misty fairyland in a daze. Here the streams were gurgling, the farmland was endless, and a modern villa was hidden in a lush grove. The yard was full of flowers of various colors, full of vitality. The spring water passed through the yard, leaving a pool of water. Qin Zhi scooped up a bay of lake water and drank a sip. It was so sweet, and the pain in the whole body was relieved a lot. Qin Zhi jumped into the pool and took a bath. It was comfortable. After taking a bath, he entered the villa in wet clothes. There was no one in the villa. But why is this layout so familiar? Wasn’t the island in the lobby on the first floor designed by himself and then customized in the factory? The oven in the kitchen, the computer in the study, and the big bathtub in the bedroom, wow, did I also travel through the big villa in the 21st century? Is this a dream? How can it be so real. Qin Zhi found a set of his pajamas in the closet to change, and quickly hung the wet clothes on his body. I took some dumplings from the refrigerator, cooked them and ate them, then fell asleep on the bed.
